参议院一位资深共和党议员正考虑在今年晚些时候通过党派内部法案，为特朗普支持的选民身份证法案打下“首付款”。
参议院已就《保护美国选民资格（SAVE）美国法案》辩论近一个月。但由于没有民主党议员投票打破阻挠议事程序，该法案毫无通过可能。
南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员林赛·格雷厄姆希望将选民身份证和公民身份核查法案的部分内容纳入预算和解法案，这类法案仅需共和党议员投票即可通过。

“和解程序有局限性，但我们将在秋季通过和解程序为SAVE法案打下首付款，”格雷厄姆周一在南卡罗来纳州电台节目《与比尔·弗雷迪直言》中表示。
作为参议院预算委员会主席，格雷厄姆负责设计参议院的和解程序框架。他计划周五与白宫会面，“推动此事取得进展”。
和解程序不允许直接通过单纯的政策法案，这意味着纳入该方案的任何条款必须对预算或支出产生影响，才能符合参议院规则。否则这些条款将被剔除。
格雷厄姆表示他有解决方案。

“选民诚信法案——我将推出拨款项目，但会附带条件，”格雷厄姆说，“要获得拨款，你必须确保清除登记名单上的非法移民。目前有很多蓝州并未这么做，我们将尽最大可能推行选民身份证制度。”
特朗普总统和保守派人士要求参议院发起口头阻挠议事——甚至彻底废除阻挠议事程序——以通过《SAVE美国法案》。但参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩和其他共和党人明确表示，该选项未获得足够支持。
目前的全院辩论因议员们离华盛顿欢度复活节假期而暂停，其目的是迫使参议院民主党人就选民身份证政策表态。民调显示，该政策在跨党派选民中都广受欢迎。

参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默上月末辩称，民主党反对《SAVE美国法案》“并非反对投票时出示带照片的身份证”，尽管他们阻挠了俄亥俄州联邦参议员乔恩·赫斯特德提出的独立选民身份证条款。
“我们反对的是，这是一项压制选民的法案，多达2000万甚至更多选民前往投票时会被告知‘你的名字不在登记名单上’，”舒默说，“这才是该法案的问题所在。”
尽管格雷厄姆提出的条款可能符合参议院规则，但由于中期选举将成为焦点，该条款很可能会在秋季的第二轮和解法案中推出。目前尚不清楚它能否在11月前生效。他还计划在该方案中加入打击欺诈的条款。
在此之前，格雷厄姆和共和党议员正计划在一项和解法案中提前为移民海关执法局（ICE）和海关与边境保护局（CBP）提供资金，特朗普希望该法案能在6月1日前提交到他的办公桌上。
参议院共和党议员基本一致支持这一想法，他们认为民主党拒绝为移民执法提供资金，除非共和党推出严苛的改革措施——而共和党称他们已提出相关改革，却遭到民主党拒绝。

不过，众议院共和党人并未完全支持，他们的反对可能进一步延长美国历史上最长的政府停摆。
他们对当前参议院的国土安全部拨款法案感到不满，该法案为ICE和部分CBP项目提供了资金。他们要求参议院在就妥协方案投票前，在和解法案上取得实质性进展。
“我要做的是起草一项和解法案，只为ICE和边境巡逻队提供资金，无需任何民主党议员的投票——我们将为他们提供3到10年所需的全部资金，能纳入多少就纳入多少，”格雷厄姆说，“我们将仅靠共和党议员的投票为边境巡逻队和ICE提供资金。”

Graham eyes ‘down payment’ on Trump-backed SAVE Act without Democratic support

Graham plans to create grant programs requiring states to purge rolls of illegal immigrants to receive funding

A top Senate Republican is eyeing a way to put a “down payment” on Trump-backed voter ID legislation through a party-line bill later in the year.
The Senate has been debating the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act for almost a month. But without Democratic votes to break the filibuster, the legislation has no chance of passing.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R.S.C., wants to put portions of the voter ID and citizenship verification legislation into a budget reconciliation package, which requires only Republican votes to pass.

“Reconciliation has limits, but we’re going to make a down payment on the SAVE Act in reconciliation in the fall,” Graham said Monday on a South Carolina radio show, “Straight Talk with Bill Frady.”
Graham, who chairs the Senate Budget Committee, is in charge of designing the framework for the reconciliation process in the upper chamber. He plans to meet with the White House Friday to “get this thing moving.”
Reconciliation does not allow for straight policy, meaning any provisions included in the package must have a budgetary or spending impact to survive Senate rules. If they don’t, they are stripped out.
Graham says he has a solution.

“Voter integrity laws — I’m going to create grant programs, but they’ll have conditions on them,” Graham said. “To get a grant, you’ve got to make sure you purge your rolls of illegal immigrants. There are a lot of blue states out there that don’t do that, and we’ll try to get as much of a voter ID system as I can.”
President Donald Trump and conservatives have demanded that the Senate launch a talking filibuster — or eliminate the filibuster entirely — to pass the SAVE America Act. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and other Republicans have made clear the option does not have enough support.
The current floor debate, which is paused while lawmakers are away from Washington, D.C., for the Easter break, is designed to force Senate Democrats to argue against voter ID — a policy that polls show is popular with voters across party lines.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argued late last month that Democrats’ objection to the SAVE America Act is “not to a photo ID when you show up to vote,” despite blocking a standalone voter ID provision pushed by Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio.
“Our objection is it’s a voter suppression bill, 20 million, maybe more people, when they show up to vote will be told you’re off the rolls,” Schumer said. “That’s the problem with the bill.”
While Graham’s provision could pass muster under Senate rules, it would likely come in a second reconciliation package in the fall, as midterm elections take center stage. Whether it would take effect by November is unclear. He’s eying provisions that would tackle fraud in the package, too.
Before that, Graham and Republicans are eyeing front-loading funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in a reconciliation bill that Trump wants on his desk no later than June 1.
Senate Republicans are largely aligned behind the idea, arguing that Democrats have refused to fund immigration enforcement without stringent reforms — reforms Republicans say they have offered and Democrats have rejected.

Still, House Republicans are not entirely on board, and their resistance could further prolong the longest government shutdown in history.
They are frustrated with the current Senate Department of Homeland Security Senate Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, which carves out ICE and portions of CBP funding. They are demanding the upper chamber make real progress on a reconciliation bill before voting for the compromise plan.
“What I’m going to do is draft a reconciliation bill and load up ICE and Border Patrol funding without a single Democratic vote — give them all they need for three to 10 years, whatever I can fit in,” Graham said. “We’re going to fund the Border Patrol, and we’re going to fund ICE with Republican votes only.”
